She resides as the self effulgent consciousness in all living beings, hence she is chitrA. yA devI sarvabhUteshhu chetanetyabhidhIyate | namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaH || 17\-19|| Salutations again and again to the Devi who abides in all beings as consciousness. The only thing that does not need a pramANa.m (means of knowledge) is the awareness that 'I exist'. Every other pramANa like pratyaksha, anumAnA or even shruti works as a means of knowledge only with my self awareness. vedAnta shastra uses shruti pramANa (scriptures) to dissuade the erroneous notion that the self awareness is limited.
